thanks I love this part: The biggest surprise of the evening came when Frusciante - one of the true guitar heroes of the alt-rock era, often brimming with licks that sound like they were culled from Jimi Hendrix and Funkadelic's great guitarist Eddie Hazel - slowed things down for a stunning solo take on Simon & Garfunkel's "For Emily (Wherever I May Find Her) that had the crowd holding up their cell phone lights.

Well, a modern way of expressing the love for music and it STILL causes cancer in some cases. So, nothing has changed.
Hope there will be more reviews, pics and vids:)

So I went to the concert last night. I took my sons and husband. I had bought seats in section 113 and they were pretty good seats, but I also won floor seats, so me and my oldest son pretty much stayed on the floor. It was a great concert, they played good and Anthony sounded good. My friends also went. We were a little disappointed with Anthony, he didn't talk to the crowd much. Flea did, he told us thank you for coming to their concert. In fact when they were done Anthony just walked off and mumbled something (maybe thank you Arizona, I'm not sure), then Flea, John, & Chad did a solo and Chad got done and stood up and waved bye to everyone, then when Flea & John were done they waved goodbye and left.
The most exciting part of the night was my girlfriends sat behind a guy who had a backstage pass and they bought it for $20 from him and they gave it to me (since I'm the bigger fan) and I got to go backstage. Wow what a trip. I'm just shaking I'm so excited, so security won't let me take my son with me so he stays behind with my girlfriends. So I end up in this corridor with about 10 to 15 other people and security and one of the security guards tells me they are taking showers and they will be out soon. There was an after-hour party in the room next to where I was standing and thats where everyone was waiting for them at. The pass I had would've gotten me in there. Anyways after about 15 minutes of waiting here comes Flea and Chad and I snapped a picture of them and Flea walked off right away, but Chad knew the people standing next to me and started talking to them and I said "Chad will you sign my sons shirt?" And he said "Yea hold on a second" and he started talking to the people next to me and about a minute later he says to me "ok, whos it for?" and I said "my son" and I hand him the pen and he signs my sons RHCP shirt and I said "thank you". He was very nice. So anyways I'm standing there another 10 minutes and the security lady says to me "here comes the singer" and out walks Anthony. I'm standing right next to him, I could reach out and touch him. His hairs totally wet and I think he walked out with his sister, anyways I snapped a picture and said "Anthony will you sign this for my son" and he puts his hands up in the air and goes "sorry, I'm with my family tonight" and I thought you jerk it will take you 2 seconds. I was really disappointed about my once in a lifetime experience with Anthony. Anyways, and Chad is still standing there next to me talking away to some guys and some other guy next to me goes Anthony do you know blah blah blah (can't remember which name he said) and Anthony goes "yea" and walks up, I mean I could give him a hug and kiss at this point, but I'm sad at this point and anyways the guy goes "thats my dad" and they shook hands and said something else and he walks back to the girl that I think was his sister and they say something and leave, but she kind of looked at me sympathetically. Also, when I was standing there waiting I saw his nurse (is it Sat Huri) she does resemble Flea and shes holding Flea's baby, who is wide awake and so cute with big blue eyes and I saw Flea's girlfriend, never saw Heather though. Don't know if she was there or not. So I leave at that point, I'm so disappointed. So when I find my friends there disappointed and mad with Anthony's response too and they don't want to bother switching out with the backstage pass to go see them, they just want to leave. When I found my husband and was telling him about it he said "well he probably figured, where does it stop, I'll have to sign for everyone here". I do see that point, but it would've taken 2 seconds and Chad did it. Also, maybe I made him mad by snapping a picture and asking him for an autograph instead of saying "Hi Anthony, great concert", I just was tired and nervous and didn't think about that. Oh well what can you do. It was still exciting and I got some close up pics. I will get them developed and try to post them (I've never posted pics before, I'm not sure how to).
Anyways, great concert.

Just because he is having a bad night doesn't mean that he has to be rude and treat people with disrespect.he could have been a gentleman. I deal with people all day even when I'm having a bad day I'm polite to them. Today I really wanted to walk off my job, so maybe I'll do it tomorrow.

He did the same to my friend in Prague. She met him on the street, they shoke hands and then she asked him if she can have a photo taken with him and he said no. She said that he'll make her cry, he said "Sorry for making you cry." and he just left like that. Pfft.
But thumbs up for Chad! ;D That was so nice of him.

He acted in a very cool and stupid way with your friend. It drives me mad, very mad. He need to learn humility with Chad and Flea. John is shy so I can't say nothing about him. But Flea and Chad are my heroes. I loooove them.

Okay, the no-autographs-thing-because-he-is-with-his-fam I understand, but this was plain flat-out rude. In the five seconds it took him to think up such a brilliant line and be rude to your friend, he could've taken that photo. Damn. Well, maybe these were the "flaws" Anthony was talking about fixing in all those promo interviews?

But Flea and Chad are my heroes. I loooove them. It's weird, because I actually thought/think that John was/is the warmest out of the four. Anthony was pretty friendly and stuff, and talked to everyone and treated them like they were the sun of his universe, and Chad and Flea were reserved but very funny and polite, and John I found to be the really talkative one. He took pictures with anyone who asked, even though management said no, and he would start conversations with everyone! He was really cool.

I heard that when they did "Under the Bridge," Flea and John went to the left of the stage and played for little Sunny Bebop They did. I had lower level seats on the left of the stage so I was pretty close so I could see Frankie holding Sunny up to listen to her dad and John play. That is one big baby! Anthony's little sister Jennifer was there too on the side of the stage...I looked over at her a couple of times and she was singing along w/ Anthony...it was cute. I also saw Sat Hari talking to Jennifer...it was Sat Hari's birthday and Anthony said they wouldn't be alive if not for her. In general, Anthony seemed to be preoccupied on Monday night...he was physically there, but his heart wasn't in it. I'm not sure what's up w/ him. Hopefully he will find happiness soon.
